Vesuvius PLC has taken a strategic stake in Sapotech Oy, a Finland based technology company. Sapotech has developed a suite of vision products around their “Reveal Platform”, which allows for data to be captured, viewed, analysed, stored and shared between different processes and users across a metallurgical production line. As such it complements Vesuvius’ role in adding value to customer processes in the same end markets.
In parallel with this direct participation in the future of Sapotech, Vesuvius will distribute, under an exclusive arrangement, Sapotech’s Reveal product range through the Vesuvius network in Central Europe, Asia and the Americas, helping Sapotech to expand and accelerate their market development.
Furthermore, collaboration between experts from Vesuvius and Sapotech will contribute to the development of Vesuvius’ offering of expert services around the continuous casting process to its steel customers.
Mr. Saku Kaukonen, CEO of Sapotech, said, "We are confident that Vesuvius' global presence will boost our growth and presence in international markets. Through technical collaboration we can develop our Reveal Platform technology further and offer a unique selection of Reveal and Vesuvius solutions to our customers. Ultimately, our solutions will revolutionize the monitoring of metal and steel manufacturing processes".
Mr. Roel van der Sluis, President Flow Control, said, “Sapotech’s Reveal Cast system, fits perfectly into Vesuvius’ strategy to develop an Expert Service for our steel customers.
